Haryana: Beekeepers feel the sting as adulteration leads to price dip

Beekeeping is no more a profitable business as beekeepers in Haryana are facing a tough time due to adulteration of honey with sugar syrup and market dominance by big companies. “The major challenge we face is Chinese sugar adulterants which have caused a great damage to the beekeeping business as those who produce pure honey do not even get the input cost,” said beekeepers of the state.
